Music is more than melody — it’s medicine.

According to the American Music Therapy Association, music can promote wellness, manage stress, alleviate pain, enhance memory and cognition, improve communication and promote physical rehabilitation.

At Tanner local musicians donate their talents and time to provide a therapeutic escape to patients, visitors and staff alike through the Harmony for Healing music therapy program.

Two Steinway baby grand pianos — one donated by a private donor to grace the John H. Burson III, MD, Atrium and another fully-restored 1920s Steinway in Classroom 2 of the Health Education and Wellness Learning Center, donated by the Tanner Medical Center/Carrollton Auxiliary — are used by a number of local performers. Others come to play keyboard, classical guitar, flute, harp or to sing. Seniors studying piano performance at the University of West Georgia perform final run-throughs of their half and full recitals as part of the program.

Terry Lowry, who holds a master’s in music from the University of Alabama and serves as conductor for the Carroll Symphony Orchestra, serves as chair of Tanner’s Harmony for Healing program, helping to cultivate the performances that serve as such sweet distraction.

The facility averages about 14 Harmony for Healing performances a month. A schedule of upcoming Steinway piano located in the John H. Burson III, MD, Atrium performances is available on tanner.org. Donor: A Friend of Tanner In honor of Loy M. Howard President and CEO, Tanner Health System

Chandler says his biggest challenge in making art is sorting and editing the multitude of possibilities from all the materials and ideas around us. Initially realized in the form of furniture, his benches and chairs were both functional and sculptural. However, over the years he has expanded his repertoire to include other subjects, such as whitetail deer, clothing, quilts, game boards, toys and variations on the human figure. Like his furniture, these familiar objects are constructed with unexpected materials and often irony. Within these common themes he references our cultural landscape by using materials that others have overlooked. We live in an increasingly disposable world with an increasing rate of consumption. Broken Suzanne Johnson, a former resident of Carrollton, was actively involved in things are not fixed, but thrown away.

24 Tanner Medical Center/Carrollton Healing Arts Self-guided Tour 25 Fish and Turtle Habitat A Fish and Turtle Habitat? 2013 How About That.

Generously donated by Carrollton Emergency Physicians, the group of board- certified, fellowship trained emergency medicine providers who staff the hospital’s 24-hour emergency department, the 1,100-gallon fish and turtle habitat is one of the largest indoor freshwater habitats in the Southeast. It is located in the Thomas Fitzgerald III, MD, Atrium beside the emergency department at Tanner Medical Center/Carrollton.

The habitat is populated with colorful, playful fish — such as the parrot fish, Australian rainbowfish, tetra and the African chichlid — and turtles like the Florida cooter, southern painted turtle, giant Mexican musk turtle, as well as red-eared and yellow-bellied sliders. Watching the fish and turtles swim, feed and interact provides a serene, therapeutic diversion for patients and loved ones awaiting care.

A 2015 study in the journal Environment & Behavior details the link between observing aquarium life and a number of health benefits. Researchers from the National Marine Aquarium in Plymouth, England, along with Plymouth University and the University of Exeter found that displays such as the one at Tanner Medical Center/Carrollton can lower observers’ blood pressure, heart rate and improve mood and concentration.

The habitat also serves as an educational opportunity. The health system provides written information on the types of fish and turtles that reside in the habitat, and the habitat is available to school groups interested in learning more about freshwater marine life. In addition, the habitat helped in the development of the unique Tanner ReadER program and its mascot, Tanny the Turtle. The program seeks to provide age-appropriate books for children receiving care in the emergency department, helping to provide comfort and drive literacy. The program is glad to accept donations of children’s books that can be distributed through the emergency department.
